Have a read of some stats from today's Sky Bet Championship action...

• Middlesbrough scored six goals in an away league game for the first time since October 1960, when they drew 6-6 with Charlton Athletic – incidentally, the joint-highest score draw in English league football (also 6-6 between Arsenal and Leicester in April 1930).
• Sunderland AFC’s 1-1 draw against Millwall means that they have now picked up 32 points from 16 Championship games this season, their best start to a season at this level since 1998/99 (34), when they eventually won the league.
• Burnley’s clean sheet against Bristol City means that they have conceded just six goals across their 16 Championship matches this season, the fewest by any team at this stage of a second-tier campaign since Manchester United in 1924/25 (also 6).
• West Bromwich Albion’s Josh Maja scored his 10th goal of the season in the Championship (16th app), the first time he’s reached double figures in the EFL since netting 15 (24 apps) for Sunderland in League One in 2018/19. Indeed, only Norwich City’s Borja Sainz (11) has scored more in the competition so far in 2024/25.
• Middlesbrough’s Emmanuel Latte Lath scored his first ever hat-trick in English Football, his 25th goal in total for Boro – more than three times as many as any other player for the Club in all competitions since the Ivorian’s debut in August 2023.
• Di’Shon Bernard scored Sheffield Wednesday’s only goal during their 1-1 draw against Cardiff City – he had gone exactly 100 EFL matches without scoring a goal before today, since netting for Salford City against Mansfield Town in January 2021.
